Would you run Finland’s naked race?

Picture of the race, taken from Nakukymppi. net

I read about a 10 km unusual run. It takes place near the small Finnish village of Nakukymppi. The village has only 3000 inhabitants. But, as I understand, about 300 runners (some of which even travel from other countries) gather yearly to run the race.

Why is it so special? Not just because of the presence of visitors (and the media) in this small village. Also not because of the fun atmosphere or the fabulous country-side. This run has special rules! All participants are allowed to only wear shoes and head-wear. Males must participate fully naked. Female participants can opt to wear a bra (to support their upper body parts while running), but many participate fully naked. Every runner, who starts and finishes the race naked, gets a certificate.

So would you like to participate in this fun event in rural Finland?

NO. My opinion about nudity or about my body would not allow me to do it. Therefore I would never be able to participate in any public nude event.

NO. It is or would feel abnormal. So how can I be naked when so many observers are clothed?

NO. I do not want my photo to be in newspapers or on the internet. Therefore, since the media is present, I would not be willing to participate.

MAYBE. I like the idea, but publicity scars me. Thus, even though I would have liked to get naked, I probably would not participate as I am too stressed about the media presence.

MAYBE. I fantasise about it, but probably would not have the courage to do it. Therefore, dream on! But never in real life!

YES. I love my body and the freedom of nudity. Therefore I would love to participate, especially since I can do it legally in public.

YES. I associate myself with the philosophy of nudity. So, why can society not embrace nudity as norm and organise more such events?

@eye4u Yes

And have done in our local nude race too

[eye4u]

How big was the race? Where was the race? Were you totally naked? Did you like it?

[Kelly6]

@eye4u
It was in our small rural town in Spain.
Around 20-30 people were in race.

[Kelly6]

@eye4u
Yes full naked.
Race was from center of town to nude beach

[eye4u]

Was it a once-off event or is it happening yearly? I ask as I think it would be fun to participate.

[Kelly6]

@eye4u

[Kelly6]

@eye4u

I’d actually be tempted to try it 😄 As an athlete, running 10 km in just shoes sounds… liberating and hilarious at the same time. The atmosphere looks friendly and non-creepy, more like a quirky tradition than anything sexual. I’d probably be super self-conscious at first, then end up laughing the whole way and keeping the certificate forever.

[eye4u]

What would draw you more to participate: The uniqueness of this sport or the possibility to get naked in a non-creepy way?

[queenofcardio]

I'd at least run in a bra and tiny shorts.

[Kelly6]

@queenofcardio not even if everyone is nude?

[queenofcardio]

@Kelly6 I'm not comfortable being nude in public lol

[Kelly6]

@queenofcardio oh ok

[TonyMetal___1986]

@Kelly6 only abnormal and crazy people do such stuff!

[rgb008]

I need support up top for running lol

[eye4u]

Well, that is allowed. So are you willing to participate?

[Paige2006]

I would love to do it!

[eye4u]

Yes, me too. It sounds interesting to me

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No. Bunch of trash degenerates.

[eye4u]

Why do you think nudity is bad?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Because its inappropriate.

[eye4u]

Cultures are so different. So I do not want to judge yours. Why do you judge what others do?
